The world was shocked. What could have caused one of the
most high-profile couples of the last decade — a couple that has
seemed to weather many storms in the public eye and shares six
children together — to break up?

"Angelina Jolieis dumpingBrad Pitt after hiring a private investigator to spy
on him on the set of his latest film — where, she learned, he was
cheating," The Post wrote on Tuesday, adding the PI found out
Pitt was allegedly cheating on the 40-year-old actress and
humanitarian with Cotillard.

Cotillard — who has also starred in movies
like "Inception," "Midnight in Paris," and "Contagion" — is a
40-year-old award-winning actress,
spokesperson for Greenpeace, and singer-songwriter. She has a
son with French actor and director Guillaume Canet,
although the pair are not married.

It’s long been known that
Pitt and Jolie themselves fell in love on set while the pair
were starring in their own spy thriller/comedy "Mr. and Mrs.
Smith." Pitt ended his then-marriage to Jennifer Anniston in 2005
and began dating Jolie.

They later married in 2014 after having three biological
children together, Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox, and
adopting three other children, Pax, Maddox, and
Zahara.

Different sources told TMZ the divorce may have centered
not on Pitt’s alleged affair, but on the couple’s
children.

"Angelina became 'fed up' with Brad's consumption of weed
and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is 'an
anger problem' ... felt it became dangerous for the children,"
the TMZ report said, going on to add that there was no
"alleged third person," according to their sources.

Meanwhile, another source told The Post that the reason for
the divorce may have had more to do with differing lifestyles:
Pitt wants to stay in Hollywood making movies and Jolie wants to
devote herself to humanitarian endeavors full-time.
